"Read what I said: The RC's added to scripture as a result of Luther."
For all its faults, The Church is the Divinely inspired and Divinely established Bride of Christ.
If the books that had been in existence long before Luther appeared were added at Trent it is because the Church was Divinely inspired by the guidance of the Holy Spirit Himself to include them.
Luther served his purpose. He just did not serve it the way he was supposed to do; namely, work within the Church to change, not create a false doctrine and establish a heretical schism.
Again, good day to you.
Not anywhere in Scripture....
Where ARE these people? That's what I want to know.
If the books that had been in existence long before Luther appeared were added at Trent ...
One of the ninety-eleven things that a lot of Protestants don't get is that the Church doesm't sort of sit around making new rules of stuff people have to think and believe. "'Ey Luigi, what's on de menu for dis week?""I dunno boss, how 'bout we tell 'em dey have to believe, uh, oh, the hypostatic union or we break their legs?"
It seems to me that it's in response to some notable confusion that the ponderous magisterium rouses itself, delivers a dictum, and goes back to sleep. Up until Luther, while there may not have been consensus, the disagreement about the canonical OT wasn't big enough to matter. Once Nestorius says "Mary isn't EITHER theotokos, then somebody has to say, "Yes she was too." Once a bunch of people want to excuse Tobit, somebody has to say, "It's in." And so then the people who are looking for a beef will say we added something.
